Yeah, we need an address splitting thing that's less strict than
`mail-header-parse-address' (which is used for protocol-specific stuff)
and less weird than `mail-extract-address-components' all over Emacs.

So I've now added this to Emacs 28 make lm-crack-address use that
instead, which fixes this problem.
